Senior

Eleanor, please always bring your favorite drinks to photo sessions because these are too much fun! Little bit of golden light, little bit of Bolivar MO rural vibes and a can of Alani made this mini session feel so personal.

Sophie photographed this one in a field with a sandy path running through it. One outfit, one location, all mini session vibes.

Eleanor wore a pale blue eyelet sundress with cutwork trim and a tiered skirt, tan ankle strap wedges, a thin gold pendant, and a bracelet you can see when her hands are up. If you are still working out your own look, senior picture outfit ideas covers how to pick one that holds up in field light.

Eleanor's senior mini session in Bolivar, MO

A senior mini is a short session. One outfit, one location, and a session to show off your personality or a favorite thing of yours.

Eleanor used hers on this Alani drink. I love how much joy something so simple can bring out.

Bringing one prop to a golden hour field session

I love it when you bring a favorite thing to your session whether you’re doing a mini session, multiple smaller sessions or a larger sesh.

Pick a drink you order every week, your keys, your sport, your dog. Prop ideas for senior photos has more of them if nothing comes to mind.

When to book a field session around Bolivar

I love photographing field sessions late in the day or during the first part of the morning. We’ll choose the meeting time with your date and location in mind.

But that golden light you see in these photos?

So worth it.
